Author's Note: Sorry it's taken me so long to upload this chapter, but to be honest, I had difficulty writing this out, and I still don't like it. Anywho, I really want to get the ball rolling on this series because I absolutely love Glee, and with Season 3's finale airing next Thursday, I'm gonna be without it for a couple of months before Season 4's back on in the fall. Please, tell me in your reviews if this chapter's any good and if not, I'll try and change it for all your benefits! ;-) See you all soon with the next chapter! The actual date!

About a quarter of an hour before Blaine and Kurt leave for Breadstix, in another part of town, someone else's getting ready for their first date in almost six months, and he's starting to get a little anxious. Standing in front of his mirror, making sure that his ensemble fits the bill so to speak, Leo's about to call the whole thing off when his Mum knocks gently on the door, and asks if she can come in.

"Of course you can, Mum," he replies, turning to face her so she can give her opinion on the clothes he's chosen to impress Blaine, "Whaddya think, Mum? Tell me the truth...is it a little much? I don't want to come off as trying too hard. I know it's been a while, but I want to give a good first impression."

His Mum approaches him, smoothing out the creases on the shoulders on his shirt before looking up at him with a smile on her face to rival his own and answers softly, "You look perfectly fine, dear. You're worrying too much about nothing. Just be yourself, and everything will be okay, you'll see. What you've told me about this Blaine boy, he seems like the perfect gentleman. I wouldn't mind meeting the lad in the not-too-distant future. Same goes for your father."

Leo rolls his eyes at her as he replies, "Mum, my date with Blaine hasn't even started yet, and you're already asking me to bring him over so you can meet him. I want both of us to get to know each other first before he meets you two, alright? And the same probably goes for me when he wants me to eventually meet his parents."

Once he's looked himself over and finds that he actually looks really good without looking too good, he turns to face his mother again, "Thanks for the pep talk, Mum. It's really cool that you and Dad accept me being gay and all, but it's also cool that we can talk like this, and not feel awkward or weird whenever we do so."

His Mum pulls him into a gentle, affectionate hug before pulling away, smiling up at him, "Of course we do. It doesn't matter to us who you date or what you choose to do with your life. As long as you're happy, me and your father are happy. Now get going. Don't want to be late for your first date, do we?"

"Mum, it's not like this is my first date...," but his Mum interrupts him by pressing her finger against his lips, silencing him, "Ssh! Not one word. We're here to start fresh so I don't want to hear any more about what happened back in England. Ok?"

Leo instantly knew what she's talking about, and nods in understanding, "Of course Mum, no more talk about the past. Look to the future, and all that. Oh! And speaking of which, I'm gonna be late for my date if I don't leave now!" He suddenly adds, just checking one more time that he looks alright before he's grabbing his jacket, and heading out the door.

"Just be yourself honey, and everything'll be fine!" He hears his Mum call behind him as he reaches the front door, "Be safe and we'll see you when you get back."

"I'll see you later Mum. Bye Dad!" Leo hollers to his Dad, who's currently in the living room where his Mum left him before coming up to see how he was doing.

"Have a nice time, Leo!" Leo hears his Dad before the door shuts behind him, making his way swiftly down the stone path just in time to meet up with Sam, who'd offered to walk him to Breadstix after finding out within the past week that they live relatively close to one another. Which is probably a good thing because at the moment Leo feels like a fish-out-of-water, but with Sam around, he'll get to know the "ins and outs" of what Lima, Ohio has to offer in no time at all.

When they finally arrive at Breadstix, Leo's quite amazed at the fact that it's not how he pictured it...at all, actually. Instead of a small coffee shop that he'd imagined looking like the one featured in Friends, thanks to its misleading sign above them, he sees a quaint, luxurious little restaurant which literally takes his breath away as he and Sam enter. It looks like the kind of place where only the rich can enter, but Sam insists it's nothing of the sort. Quite the opposite, actually.

Looking around Leo notices that everyone in Glee are already here, sitting in their chosen seats, as well as the Warblers, standing near the small stage in the corner, waiting for their cue to begin their song for Valentine's Day.

Amongst them he catches sight of Blaine, conversing with Kurt and looking mighty fine in that school uniform. Leo deduces quickly that its colours suit the dark-haired teen very nicely.

Once Blaine takes note of his presence, he kindly excuses himself from Kurt's side, and makes his way over to Leo, his face brightening up the room even more with that mega-watt smile that makes Leo's heart all a flutter.

God, I'm such a hopeless romantic! Leo says to himself, the feeling intensifying when Blaine's standing right in front of him, "Hi Leo, you're finally here. I thought you weren't going to come," he greets before turning his attention to Sam, "Hey Sam, glad you could make it too. I hope you enjoy the show."

"Wouldn't miss it for the world," Sam answers before saying to Leo, "I'm gonna go find a place to sit. I'll catch up with you later, yeah?"

"Yeah, sure," Leo nods, watching as Sam leaves the two of them to take a seat across from Santana, who Leo notices is also sitting alone. He finds it kind of surprising actually, to see her there on her own without a date. Someone like her could get anyone they wanted to be her Valentine…he wonders why she didn't.

Leo then takes a gander at the place, and notices that it's decorated with love hearts and red balloons to obviously commemorate Valentine's Day. It's a little much for Leo's taste, but he can live with it for just one night.

"Wow, you look…amazing," Blaine barely manages to reply; too mesmerized by the sheer fact that Leo looks really good tonight, knowing for a fact that he's not going to be able to keep his eyes off him all night.

Leo looks down at himself before looking back up at Blaine, a small smile on his face and a huff from his lips, "Thanks Blaine. To be honest, I had no idea what to wear to something like this so I'd tried out several ensembles and came to the conclusion that this one's the best bet." He gestures to himself.

This prompts a small laugh from Blaine, who pats him on the shoulder affectionately, "It doesn't matter what you wear. You'd look great in anything."

Their banter's short-lived, however, when they hear Kurt testing out the red microphone set up on stage so Leo proceeds to sit at the table situated behind Rachel's troupe, greeting them with a "Hi" and getting the same salutation back.

"Testing…one, two, three. Testing…one, two, three. All right," Kurt replies when he's satisfied that it's working perfectly, "So happy Valentine's Day everybody," he says with a chuckle, "For those of you Breadstix patrons who don't know who I am…I am Kurt Hummel, and welcome to my first ever Lonely Hearts Club dinner. Whether you're single with hope…or madly in love and are here because I forced you to come out and support me…sit back and enjoy. And to all the singles out there, this is our year." Once his welcoming speech's finished, he puts the microphone out of the way, and hurries to his spot next to Blaine just as the Warblers begin to sing their chosen song…

The Warblers #1: "I love you."

The Warblers #2: "How can I tell you about my loved one?"

The Warblers #3: "I can explain the feeling's plain to me, say, can't you see?"

The Warblers #1: "How can I tell you about my loved one?"

The Warblers #2: "Ah, he gave me more. He gave it all to me, say, can't you see?"

Then the beat picks up, and Blaine emerges from the group to take centre stage for his solo…

Blaine: "You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love songs.

[The Warblers vocalizing throughout]

But I look around me and I see it isn't so.

Oh, no.
Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs.
And what's wrong with that?
I'd like to know, 'cause here I go again."

Throughout the first verse, Blaine proceeds to walk around the small restaurant, singing to certain people, including Rachel's troupe, Santana, and especially Leo, before he's back on stage to join in with the chorus…

The Warblers: "Ba-ba-ba-da-da-da-da, Ba-ba-ba-ba-da-da!"

Blaine: "I love you. (I love)

I love you." (I love)

Love doesn't come in a minute (Doesn't come in a minute)
Sometimes it doesn't come at all (Doesn't come at all)

I only know that when I'm in it (Only know when I'm in it)
It isn't silly (at all), love isn't silly (at all), love isn't silly at all, not at all!"

The Warblers: "Ba-ba-ba-da-da-da-da, Ba-ba-ba-ba-da-da!"

He sings the last two lines to Leo, who can't help, but blush a little when it causes all the attention in the room to focus on him, if only for a few seconds, before it's back on the Warblers, who are now stepping off the stage to sing in front of the supporters, some even giving the girls a hug, one which Rachel gives to Kurt before they're returning to the stage for the last part of the song.

Blaine: "I love you (I love)
I love you (I love)

At this part, standing in the middle of the Warblers, Blaine proceeds to draw a love-heart out of thin air before pointing it towards Leo, noticing that he's blushing again, smiling at the fact that he can do that to him with such a simple gesture. However, they both don't seem to perceive both the hurt and jealous look on Kurt's face as they share this connection.

Blaine: "I love you."

The Warblers #1: "How can I tell you about my loved one?"

The Warblers #2: "I can explain the feeling's plain to me, say, can't you see?"

Blaine: "Ah, she gave me more, she gave it all to me, now can't you see?"

The Warblers: "How can I tell you about my loved one?"

Blaine and the Warblers: "Ba-ba-ba-da-da-da-da, Ba-ba-ba-ba-da-da!"

When the song finishes, and the Warblers stand up straight for their finishing pose, the place's in uproar. Clapping, whistling, cheering and "whooping", the Warblers are slightly surprised at this kind of ovation, but bask in it nonetheless.

"Thank you for your kind support and applause, it's really appreciated. Now, the night is young so please enjoy the rest of your evening and I hope you have a happy Valentine's Day," Kurt finishes off before the Warblers are applauded once more before going off to do their own thing, in Kurt's case to sit amongst his friends.

Blaine takes this opportunity to approach the table where Leo's sitting; asking him to follow as he'd already reserved a table for them on the other side of the restaurant, and away from prying eyes and ears.

Now their date can truly begin…
